Disney*Pixar Screening of Up at NYCC
New York Comic Con and Disney*Pixar are proud to announce that the first 50 minutes of Disney*Pixars upcoming Up will screen for the first time at New York Comic Con.  Up, the latest feature film from Disney*Pixar, is the story of Carl Fredricksen, a man who spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed Carl by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life.
Disney*Pixars Up screening will be introduced by Director Pete Docter and begin at 6:30 PM on Saturday, February 7 in the IGN Theater inside New York Comic Con.
